to be received from the works, but are
interested in the prosperity OF the city and
the benefit to be derived from that

following are the officers: D. G Haynes,

The above is sample of the logic By
which public sentiment in Texas has been
so perverted that native sympathy goes
out 10 Scotch aliens who would evict
poor men from pastures that for years
were inclosed Illegally. Railroads will

Not Good Evidence.
Louisville Time.


Ella Wheeler Wilcox says: "Where
ten women are tempted, two only fall;
where ten men are tempted, two only
stand" Ella is is entirely too generous
in the estimation she places on the sterner
sex. A somewhat extended research into
history and literature reveals the names
of but two men who exemplifed the
virtue accredited to TWO out OF ten by
the poetess. These were Joseph and St.
Anthony, and the evidence in their cases
is not entirely conclusive.
